Yahoo Names Marissa Mayer, Who We Hope For Her Sake Really Graduated From Stanford With A B.S. In Symbolic Systems, CEO

By

Considering he’s now a Yahoo! board member, Dan Loeb presumably approves of the hire but one should always assume a cross-check on his or her credentials will be run anyway, just in case. [WSJ, related]

    I'd prefer it if she uncrossed her legs so I could check her credentials.

    Lava light on. On top of the red ball. Simultaneously playing with the Etch-a-sketch and array of sweet toys on the shelf.

    Yes to her on the swiss ball, yes to her wearing that roman soldier mask, and most definitely yes to using the lava lamp in creative ways

    Lights on, me sitting on the swiss bass while fondling the stilettos, Marissa at the desk 'proof-reading' her resume.

    Ohhh, not Marissa Miller…I guess that makes more sense, still disappointed.

    I had a dream about this moment… When I was making love… to my CEO Marissa. On top a her; powerful thrusts, filling the sultry night air. Heavy breath. My son Gabriel walked in, little boy. My CEO sprung off the yoga ball and said "No, Gabriel! Leave!" And I said "No, honey, shut your mouth, let him watch." Let him watch what is being consecrated here. And I want the people to watch what is going to be consecrated here. And I will bring my son down here, and he will watch.

    Ah, good thing none of the comments on this very exciting announcement about Yahoo's succession plans are sexist. Wouldn't want that. Although I have to admit she's beautiful in addition to being awesome.

    Great news for her and Yahoo. She will have a possibility to prove that skills she has can revive the company.
